Apologies to the 2 people that asked about the wing mirror & the SS exhaust.I was very ill for 2+ months with a bad chest infection at the end of 2017.Not only that I failed to realise that Pumaproject does not forward emails on to our addresses(OH I see I did not check the box now) & we have to...

Driving to Devon yesterday I broke down & RAC said it was my head gasket.Got recovered to my garage & they wanted £400-500ish & car is only worth £600 & insurance wont pay out in case of accident as they wrote it off 2 years ago & we bought it back. So not worth anyone thinking of buying it...

The central locking is playing up & wants to keep locking all the time,whirring away...As its old & on its last legs I see little point in getting a garage to fix it as it will cost about 2/3 of the Pumas value(my wifes Ka C/locking went years ago but hers was a relatively new so we took the...

Thanks for that Speedy Gonzalez reply.No point quitting at this stage I will give a go,thanks.No need to reply.

UPDATE-Well I replaced the heater control panel(with PCB)..I thought it went warmer but after a proper test drive sad to say there is no improvement in the no hot air situation at all? It was worth a punt for £36. The only thing I can guess is the Ford heater control valve has gone again or...

Looks brand new!

Many thanks I have had a look & he has 2-I did not know you had a resident parts chap that is good news.My Puma is 15 years old now(W reg)-just the age for things to start failing,so I will give it a go for £30.If that does not fix it then we will drive it cold! Someone rear ended my Puma...

Thanks to both replies-I bought my heater control valve from Fords.When you say panel do you mean on the fascia with the knobs on?Whats a PCB?....If its a tricky job I will just try another garage?

I owned an XR2 for 17 years(22 when I sold it 12 years ago & its still not been crushed yet-I looked online) before I got the Puma(now 15 years) Have you seen this?-I bought one & it's...

My garage failed to sort my interior heating out in May,said they forgot but I think they did not know how to fix it?There is hardly any hot air,just a faint warm blast...even after a lot fast run. The fan works & I replaced the heater matrix double bridge piece(with a switch on) 2 years...
